  1. The NCAA is not going to bat an eye if one conference - the Big Sky - attempts to replace what was formerly an FBS WAC. A third FBS conference in the west is needed. ...

    While I like your predictions, it seems that there is a greater need for an FCS conference in the west, since the Big Sky is the only game in town, so to speak. Now, if Idaho and New Mexico State were to join 6 teams in a split-off from the Big Sky and leave 7 or 8 teams in FCS, well, who knows?

  2. ... Bubba appears to be doing alright with cleaning up the mess that was left for him, but we don't know yet. ...

    I like your optimism on the football program, but on what grounds are you basing this statement? The football team has not even had spring practice yet. The optimism for Mussman's teams was always high at this time of year too.

  3. I wish that there could be a thread where we can all talk about the topic at hand without a Bison fan coming in and start talking about how NDSU relates to the topic. It happens all the time. Then when a Bison poster says something contraversial or rips on UND, they get mad that people are attacking them!! This is a UND sports message board. We are going to talk about UND sports. I am welcome to discussion form fans from other schools coming to this site.....but it gets super annoying when NDSU gets brought up in threads on topics that don't involve them. Then it just becomes a "who is better, UND or NDSU" debate and the thread gets derailed.

    Stopped reading other boards like anygivensaturday and championship subdivision because Bison trolls hijack every thread. It's not just here.

  4. The battle for the trophy is over - even if they play how could they justify playing for a trophy that has an icon on it that has been retired and for some is considered mis-use of Native Americans - if UND and USD can't play for Sitting Bully anymore I can't see how the anti-nickname crowd would ever allow for a game to be played with a Sioux logo on it.

    You can't play for a trophy without the team name. No Indian head (Sioux), the trophy should be retired.

  5. You certainly are in the minority. Let me try to convince you otherwise.

    I would disagree that T Rex is in the minority. There are less than 20 siouxsports.com posters who have pledged for this.

    I am with T Rex; if the athletic dept, with a budget in excess of $20 million, does not feel it is even worthy of a reply to Ira or gfhockey, then they don't need to tap into my meager resources to replace the jerseys they currently have.

  6. Welcome to the new commitments. Studsrud is a real good athlete and has been one if the top targets at qb for a while.

    I really like to see a 6'5" tight end. Need to get back to utilizing that position.

    I trust bubba and Schmidty with evaluating LBs. Their defenses at SIU were always pretty solid at those positions.

    SFI is saying that Luke Fiedler, TE from Orlando has committed as well.

  7. So you'd rather play Minot, Mary and Crookston with 20 some scholarships for the Northern Sun, North Division Title, than stoop to the level of playing FCS football? You are so full of 'it that you've taken BS to a whole new level. Ya, FCS football is awful compared to ole Nothern Sun. I guess DII does fit the hockey model for the Duluths, MN States and St Clouds, but those schools with 16000+ students have to be feeling like they are a big fish these day.

    I'd actually like to see UND play FBS football, Idaho would finally have someone to pick on. Do you know what FBS football would do to UND athletic budgets, it would be a total resructure of athletics at UND, trying to find an extra 3-4 mil, dropping to the FBS minimum of sports to be able to afford it. Pretty small minded of you Cratter to think that Minot and Mary is your future.

    I think you missed Cratter's point on this, Herd. The way I read it, he is not saying go back to DII and play Minot, Duluth, St Cloud... he is saying those that said UND couldn't move to DI/FCS because of the 'cost' actually 'cost' UND being on a level playing field with NDSU because of NDSU's head start into DI. He said "compete for championships" - that is what the Football Championship Subdivision does.

    You gotta put yourself out on the market if you ever want a date.

  8. doesn't the WAC have one more year to re-start football? (not that there are enough Big Sky schools that are ready for FBS today, including UND) or maybe, with New Mexico State still in the WAC and still FBS, can that be drawn out for a longer period? Idaho is still FBS and will be Big Sky next year, would that make any difference?

  9. Certainly could be the case. However, I refuse to believe that Miller was the best back we had.

    While I may agree with you, maybe Miller was the guy who brought his lunchpail and gave 100% everyday while others were working on their touchdown dance... just giving playing time to the guy who earned it in practice. I don't know, but dedication during practice should earn playing time, imho.
